intel i7 overclock settings

[Dazza69r]

Am i able to overclock my cpu to 3.8ghz and keep my ram speed at 1600mhz?
i have a i7 930
Corsair XMS3 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 12800C9
Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R

i have invested in a corsair h50 cooler which is installed already
settings would be nice as i have no idea on what to do in the bois.

many thanks

After 3 years on this forum im sure you know to use the search for one the most common questions asked.
your H50 will handle approx 4ghz while keeping temps in the 80's. Happy reading

3 years and 81 posts in total go figures to make me look like a expert...

thank you easyrider for your comments i wasnt sure to post any thing else after the previous comments ...
i just dont know how to get that last extra boost to finish it off it was by luck i got this far.
on my old motherboard i could set the ram and cpu speed seperate but this seems to link to it somehow

Daz what exact settings you wanting, as my previous post states what u need for the speed u want.

Just i can't tell u what vcore is needed as each cpu is different.

iam not sure if 3.8ghz will work yet but will try later today if i wanted to try 4ghz what options do i need.

one thing tho when i use cpuz it shows my speed as 2.5ghz then goes to 3.5ghz when being used
i assume you can disable that if wanted but should i?

many thanks for your help
